De La Hoya vs Reberto Duran @ Light Welter whos wins?

[thePRESIDENT]

I believe this was Oscars best weight for allround speed Power and mobility, I think Duran was an awsome lightweight (best in history),

Can Reborto Close Oscar down can he hurt the bigger man?

Can Oscar slice Duran up with left hook?

Me.....I go Duran split decision.

[thewoo]

There is way too many Oscar haters and old time nostalgics on this board for you to get a non biased response on this but I agree with you. Duran by close decision

[africandawg]

Just using Leonard/Duran ! &2 as a yardstick---Roberto would have overwhelmed Oscar in a toe to toe fight and I feel that Oscar could never have fought the Leonard 2 type of fight which was the only way of outsmarting the very durable comeforeward attack of Duran.:smoke :smoke

[jecxbox]

oscar would lose no matter what

[Toopretty]

If Duran could get past ODH's Jab and get inside...He would suffocate and out fight ODH. I think of the vargas fight. This could go either way. Good H2H, this is very interesting and I would need time and to watch both guys at the weight to make a better decision. You cant just say it off the top of your head. Too many variables.

duran beats the sh*t out of oscar

[McGrain]

At 140 a peak Duran would destroy Oscar. Break him down, stop him late.

Do you guys watch "Wild Kingdom?" There is footage of a Tiger stalking and chasing a baby gazelle with an injured leg. The gazelle runs for about 20 yards before the Tiger slashes at it's loins, and it crashes badly, and the tiger sinks it's fangs into the jugular and the gazelle dies.

Very similar to Duran-DLH any weight, except the gazelle would fare better than DLH would.
:lol:
i think the ending is like that as well, but fishnets would have taken one or two early rounds.

co-sign!

Duran beats him up bad, dlh got a decent chin though so may make the final bell

[Amsterdam]

Duran beats Oscar badly at any weight. But I don't think DLH gets stopped at 140, I think he gets stopped at 147 or higher due to Duran's body work.

I can understand if some of you guys want to vote for Duran to win... but for those of you claiming Duran would win by knockout? You are crazy.

De La Hoya at 140 was not fully developed in terms of filling out his body and was relatively inexperienced. Duran would maul him and break him down. I could see De La Hoya's jab and hand speed giving Duran some problems, but Duran would prove to be too much for the youngster as he takes a convincing decision or possibly stops him late.

Id pick him to win by stoppage late but because Oscar would get tired like he usually does and Duran would be abusing that body.

[CJLightweight]

i pick duran UD. But a stoppage?! I doubt it..DLH had a decent chin 154 below in his prime

[Smith]

Duran decision.

But theres far too much DLH hating on this board, people forget what a monster he actually was.

Oscar NEVER tired late at that weight. Go watch his 12 round boxing clinic that he put on the undefeated Miguel Angel Gonzalez. One of the best displays of technique, defense, power, and speed that you will ever see. The entire myth of Oscar getting tired late surrounds on a couple fights anyways. Did he tire late against Quartey? No, he won the fight in the 12. Did he tire late against Vargas? No, he knocked Vargas out in the 11th. Hell, even in the Mosley rematch Oscar threw more and landed more punches in the 12th round than either fighter did in any other round. On thing is for sure... back in the day that we are talking about, Oscar was KNOWN for his strong finish.

I think De La Hoya could win this one. At lightweight, he'd get beat about 7/3. At 154lbs, he'd win about 6/4. The higher the weight class, the bigger the chance De La Hoya has got, which makes a bout at 140 or 147lbs interesting.

In 10 fight sat 140 and 147lbs, a 5/5 finish would in both series' would not suprise me at all.

De La Hoya is vastly underrated, by the way. The guy was awesome during his prime. Duran is certainly not in a different league, and these fights would all be close, regardless of who won in the end.

I scored for DLH by decision but would there be a ko it would go to DLH. DLH was just too much for anyone when he was younger. Duran would be explosive but I fear he would be taken down many times if not ko'd. Oscar just has a cooler head. Young Oscar didn't tire early.
